When Russia is without a tyrant it falls into chaos. The years following Gorbachev were years of anarchy during which Russia's GDP declined by 1/2 until Putin applied his bloody hand and stabilised the economy. Same story repeating itself like Groundhog Day. Same as the last days of the inept Romanovs, anarchy until the Bolsheviks imposed their own order of terror. Prediction, after Putin will come a weaker less intelligent leader and anarchy until another tyrant. It's the Russian way.

@DestinyHime 3 роки тому
When people get sick the body gets a fever in an attempt to kill the thing that's killing it. Unfortunately the body is dumb and it's method of killing the invading bacteria/virus/whatever is to raise the body temperature until the whatever gets cooked to death. Which on the one hand is good but on the other hand if the whatever is on the resilient side, and the body temperature just keeps rising, sometimes the person dies before that whatever gets good and properly roasted. And on the occasions that someone did survive, then they had to deal with the lasting side effects cuz if someone's brain hangs out at 105 degrees for awhile... it... well let's just say it's not good.

Compared to Henry VIII and other European monarchs, he was an innocent child playing in the sandbox. During the entire reign of Ivan the Terrible, 4,000 people were executed, and under Henry VIII, no less than 72,000 people were executed. As for the murder of a son, this is a myth. Excavations have revealed in the remains of Dmitry a huge amount of arsenic, which was a common poison at that time.

could you do a biography on Franz Liszt? many people that aren’t interested in piano music might not know him, but he changed so much about instrumental music
@marinova1147 3 роки тому
I love his music but sadly know nothing about music in general so his brilliance is probably wasted on me. Could you recommend me a book or a video discussing what he changed about instrumental music?
@coldramen_1 2 роки тому
@@marinova1147 I don’t know any books or documentaries, the knowledge I have on Liszt is what I have learned from music professors. The 2 major things that I remembered is that he created piano masterclasses and he was the first pianist to have music memorized in his performances. He also has produced some of the most amazing piano compositions of all time, the most famous being Hungarian Rhapsody 2. There’s probably some books or documentaries out there to find information on him, or at least he’s probably mentioned in romantic music history books/documentaries

Quote Ivan the Terrible: "Everything that happened to us bad, it all happened because of the Germans!“ "Has anyone ever met an honest man with blue eyes?“ "If you want to easily defeat a country, start feeding it with your own food." "God would rather forgive a hanged man than one who died because of vanity" " It is not proper for noble men to scold like commoners." "If a king is struck on the cheek, is it proper for him to substitute the other? How can a king rule the Kingdom if he allows himself to be dishonored?!"

You should do the Marquis de Lafayette and how he defied the king to fight for free at 19and supplied his soldiers under him with food, clothing and arms). He pushed for the extra help from the king and finally got it which led to Rochambeau and De Grasse combining their troops with Washington and won the Battle of Yorktown . When he came bam 50 years later and 80,000 people in NYC came out to see him. Compare to the 4,000 people out of 8 million for The Beatles.
